There is a difference of opinion at our house.  I know this might come as a shock to some of you, but others will completely understand.  When it comes to cucumbers and onions, Ever-Lovin’ likes the combination to be sweet.  I, on the other hand, like a more vinegary taste.  Sweet Mother of Pearl.  I […]

Backstory:  Excellent Cook Nancy sent me a link to a blog by Bryn Mooth called writes4food.com.  Nancy’s cousin had sent the link to this blog to Nancy for us to check out.  Understand??  On the day I first looked at Bryn Mooth’s blog, there was a recipe from the Clara Project. As I understand it, […]

While at Buckner last week friend Robert mentioned he had some okra to share. (This is the Robert that is married to sweet, petite, always put together Janet)  “Would I like some?”  Faster than a speeding bullet, my answer was – “YES!”  Ever-Lovin and I love, love, love okra and tomatoes. Robert is a gardner […]

Stir Fried Rice

A bazillion years ago at the State Fair of Texas in Big D there was a local chef demonstrating how to make Stir Fried Rice.  At that point of my life, I do not believe I had ever heard of Stir Fried Rice. (This was long before Panda Express.)  I sat through the demonstration, and […]

WOW Reunion 2012- There it sat at the end of the counter.  It had good presentation – tomatoes surrounded the edge of the bowl, and I thought it might be a rice salad.  I took a good sized spoonful, and continued filling my plate with other delicious salads. Eventually I took a bite of the […]

It was so good to see Paula at the WOW Reunion.  She is a dear friend and wonderful cook. (She has even worked at Williams-Sonoma.  I am too jealous for words!  It is little consolation that she spent more than she made.  Wouldn’t I like to try that.)   I love it when she emails […]

When Melanie Ann and Olive came to visit, I needed a side dish to go with the left over BBQ.  I thought I would make Chinese cold slaw because I didn’t eat get to eat very much Chinese cold slaw at the Big Jubilee Supper, and I really like Chinese cold slaw.  When I got […]
